Architecture: x86_64
Machine: amd64
>Description:
On port-amd64, the man pages for boot(8), fdisk(8), and mbrlabel(8) (and
possibly others) include cross-references in the SEE ALSO section to the
mbr(8) man page.  However, there is no mbr(8) man page.

Additionally, the man page for fdisk(8) includes a cross-reference to mbr(8)
in the description of the -B command line option, and the man page for 
boot(8) includes a textual cross-reference to mbr(8) within the paragraphs
with headings "Cold Starts" and "Diagnostic Output".
>How-To-Repeat:
Execute command 'man 8 boot', 'man 8 fdisk', or 'man 8 mbrlabel' and look
at the SEE ALSO section.
>Fix:
